Hi GPT,

Well there are some of us that RESPECT those who choose to defend. I am one. in the US, depending on if you are Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard. there are web sites for all.
Aviation Now is a well updated site, as well as some shipmakers sites, "Northrop-Grummen". Stay out of harms way, ie: watchyerbut, or is it CYA.

@ TPG,

"What about people who join to "shoot up some towelheads"?"



Never met one of those, and I lived and worked in a city that had a base in it. BTW, were you born prejudice or did you have to work at it?

Hi,

@TPG,

I don't think useing the term "towel head has anything to do with dislike for the military".

@Blobrana,

Never met one of those either. The people I've talked to don't even expect to go to war. They join to learn a trade and get funds for College. I don't know where you people get your "sky is falling attitude".
There are actually some good people out there. You must live in an awfull place.

Hi,

@TPG,

Maybe cos I put quotes in wrong place, sorry. Now "Towel Heads", your words not mine. My former boss is from the mideast. He's a very knoledgeable and fair minded man. And nothing like what you would think. Me, I also am or were a minority here because I have a spanish sir name. I DON"T like being pidgeon holed into some catagory like liberals like to do. I don't think anybody from the mideast does either. Please keep your derogetory' (that spelling looks wrong), remarks out of public view. No need for it.
I can undersdand a passion for something but racisum is uncalled for.

@Speelgo...,

Man thats a long handle. please see earlier posts for backgound. Some of those Marines were neighbors, friends and customers of our shop. Overall a respectable lot. It takes a very large leap in logic to come up with this kind of view on things. I, for one, don't get it.

@GPT,

Sorry for the frey. Apply yourself wisely and squeaze all you can from your experience. Make it work for you, instead of the other way around.

Having fun always,
Chris
